As a member of the Skookum Tribe, he is a warrior by blood and thinks that he must seek worthy opponents, taking Baoh as one of them. If he acknowledges his opponent to be a true warrior, he carves a marking in his chest with his finger to denote so. As a willing agent of Dress, Walken is also ruthless and doesn't hesitate to gruesomely execute the assassin Dordo for his failures, shaking every molecule of the cyborg's body.↗
When his full power is released, he becomes extremely violent, killing everyone around him and only seeks revenge against Ikuro.↗

SPOILERS
Background
Walken is the last survivor of the annihilated Skookum Tribe from North America. At some point, he starts working for the Dress organization.↗↗
Baoh the Visitor
Walken tells Dr. Kasuminome that he would like to fight Baoh. He later appears with Kasuminome to meet a terrified Sumire who can sense his power. He demonstrates his abilities by boiling a cup of coffee by merely holding the cup. When Dordo is taken back to the Dress organization's laboratory, he is executed by Walken for his failure and is atomized into dust. Baoh eventually arrives at the laboratory and fights his way inside until Walken appears.↗↗↗
Walken eventually wakes up, still alive despite his injury, and seeks Baoh for revenge. As the headgear restricting his psychic powers was destroyed by Baoh's attack, the full strength of Walken's abilities causes an earthquake inside the facility. Walken rampages through the laboratory, killing several scientists. Walken eventually finds Ikuro and Sumire, blasting through 31 steel shutters to reach them, and then destroys the floor. All of them, as well as Dr.↗↗
